Interview with Ava Faustini — Founder of 1023 Gelato

Welcome to another episode of The Irresistible Factor. Today, we are joined by one of the most special guests I've had on the show. Ava Faustini is the  14-year-old founder of 1023 Gelato.

Find out what inspired her and how she navigates the challenging start-up CPG world, all while being a full-time student and varsity athlete.
